Suryakumar Yadav dropped from India's T20 squad after leading in World Cup

Summary

Suryakumar Yadav has been removed from India's T20 squad just three months after captaining the team to victory in the 2026 T20 World Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made the decision due to his declining form over the previous year and a half. His impact on Indian T20 cricket was significant, as he transformed it from a conservative approach to one focused on aggressive scoring. His career highlights include being recognized as the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year in both 2022 and 2023.

What they're saying

"
India still had one foot in an older version of T20 cricket when Surya came into the side. Now when he has been left out of the squad, India have become a team filled with T20 specialists who go full throttle from ball one and hit more sixes than ever before. Surya was not solely responsible for that change, but he was at its centre.
